24 South Street is an historic 17th century house which is built of white harled stone under a pitched slate and clay pantile roof.

It received The Saltire Society Award for Reconstruction in 1973 and Civic Trust Heritage Award in 1975. Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, visited the house at the awards presentation.
